Thank you to everyone who joined us for 9th Grade PTO Night at 22 Tappan.
Head of School Anthony Meyer, Deans Marisel Figueroa-Marrero and Brendan Kobus, and the 9th grade guidance team shared how the Class of 2030 is settling into BHS.
The presentation covered the transition to high school, the executive functioning skills teachers are covering in the first weeks, school policies on attendance, phones, and academic honesty, and the Extra Help Centers for math, physics, writing, and world language.

The deans’ advice for families:
